This invention relates to; certain improvements in display stands orcases particularly adapted for displaying articles in shop win dows, counters, or the like,

It is a special dbject of the .inventionto' provide a display stand orc'aseof'attr'ae' tive appearance which will permita clear View of the articles and in which the articles may be readily positioned in the case and removed therefrom. z

A further object of the inventionis to produce a display stand or case having pocirets of different heights so as to accommodate articles of different heights as, for instance,

cards of safety pins,.and which will be so shaped thatthe contents of thec'ase may be visible from different angles as it stands on n a. counter or the like It is a further objectof the iI iVGIitlOII tO produce a stand which can be cheaplymade but which will be sufficiently strongto'stand a certain amount of rough handling, so that it will not be easily' damagedin use or in shipmeritp i 1 f c With these and other objects not specifically referred to in view, the invention consists in certain novel parts, arrangements and combinations which willbe fully described in connection with the accompanying drawingsand the novel features pointed out in the claims hereunto'appended;

The stand may material and the partsfasseinb various 1 a colored or designed paper of any suitable design or character, this producing an effective and, at the same time, a simple and cheap structure. In erecting the stand, there is provided a back, piece 20 which, at its bottom, is outwardly bent to form' the base piece 21 which forms the-bottom of the pockets. The base piece is slotted, as indicated at 22, from the back toward the front the slot,'however, not-extending entirely across the base. The partitions, likewise, are provided with a slot 23 toward their bottoms, which slot receives the unslotted' portion 24: of the base so'that the partitions are held in the base.

The partitions preferably ex- .tend below the base, as indicated in Fig ures 3 and 6, this extending portion 25,,
